A new immigrant detention partnership nicknamed after Indiana's iconic racetrack inspires backlash
Top Trump administration officials boast that a new state partnership to expand immigrant detention in Indiana will be the next so-called ' Alligator Alcatraz.' A new immigrant detention partnership nicknamed after Indiana's iconic racetrack inspires backlash However, the agreement is already prompting backlash in the Midwest state, starting with its splashy 'Speedway Slammer' moniker. Here's a closer look at the agreement, the pushback and Indiana's role in the Trump agenda to aggressively detain and deport people in the country illegally. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem trumpeted the deal late Tuesday, saying Indiana would add 1,000 detention beds for immigrants facing deportation under a revived federal program. On social media, DHS also posted an altered image of a race car emblazoned with 'ICE,' short for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The IndyCar-style vehicle is shown rolling past a barbed-wire prison wall. 'If you are in America illegally, you could find yourself in Indiana's Speedway Slammer,' Noem said, likening it to the controversial facility built in the Florida Everglades. She added the new partnership will 'help remove the worst of the worst out of our country.' However, the Indiana deal doesn't involve construction. Federal funds will be used for space at the Miami Correctional Facility in Bunker Hill, roughly 75 miles north of Indianapolis. The prison's total capacity is 3,100 beds, of which 1,200 are not filled, according to Indiana Department of Correction spokeswoman Annie Goeller. Officials did not say when the detentions would start. 'Details about the partnership and how IDOC can best support those efforts are being determined,' Geoller said. The deal is part of the decades-old 287 program, which Trump has revived and expanded. It delegates immigration enforcement powers to state and local law enforcement agencies. Immigrants, attorneys and advocates have raised a number of concerns about the program, including a lack of oversight. The Florida detention facility has prompted lawsuits and complaints about poor conditions and violations of detainees' rights. Authorities have disputed the claims. Republican Gov. Mike Braun first announced the federal partnership on Friday. 'Indiana is not a safe haven for illegal immigration," he said. "Indiana will fully partner with federal immigration authorities as they enforce the most fundamental laws of our country.' The outlandish name quickly drew backlash, notably from the town of Speedway, an Indianapolis suburb which is home to the iconic racetrack that hosts the Indianapolis 500. 'This designation was developed and released independently by the federal agency, without the Town's involvement or prior notice regarding the use of the name 'Speedway,' ' officials with the Indiana town of roughly 14,000 said in a statement. 'Our primary focus remains the well-being of our residents, businesses, and visitors.' IndyCar officials were also caught off guard. 'We were unaware of plans to incorporate our imagery as part of announcement,' IndyCar said, asking that its intellectual property 'not be utilized moving forward in relation to this matter.' The altered image used by DHS featured an IndyCar with the No. 5, the same number as the only Mexican driver in the series. 'I was just a little bit shocked at the coincidences of that and, you know, of what it means,' IndyCar driver Pato O'Ward said Wednesday. 'I don't think it made a lot of people proud, to say the least.' President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan said Wednesday that he didn't name the facility. 'But I'll say this, the work of ICE, the men and women of ICE, are trying to do their job with integrity and honor,' he told reporters at the White House. 'I don't want these names to detract from that.' Leaders in the Trump administration have already singled out Indiana as key to their immigration agenda. Braun, a first-term governor and former U.S. senator, has been a strong Trump supporter. In January, Braun signed an executive order directing law enforcement agencies to 'fully cooperate' on immigration enforcement. The nation's newest immigration court opened in Indianapolis earlier this year as a way to address the backlog and divert cases from the busy courthouse in Chicago. Federal and state leaders are also working on plans to use a central Indiana military base, Camp Atterbury, to temporarily house detainees. 'Indiana is taking a comprehensive and collaborative approach to combating illegal immigration and will continue to lead the way among states,' Braun said in a statement Tuesday.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The airport is frequently used by Trump, who is not currently in Florida, officials confirmed. Deputies from the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office (PBSO) responded around 7.10 am after airport staff reported a suspicious person standing near a dark-colored vehicle in a secure parking zone, reported Fox News. The suspect, identified as Michael Rodrigues, 41, was found getting dressed outside the parked rental car by the authorities. "When deputies opened the glove compartment to retrieve the rental agreement, they discovered a fully loaded AR-15 magazine inside," wrote Teri Barbera, a spokesperson for PSBO, reported Local 10. As deputies continued to search the vehicle, they found the AR-15 rifle and multiple knives concealed under a blanket on the seat. He was arrested without incident. A law enforcement official has said that no threats have been reported, and the motive behind the incident is still unknown, reported Fox News. Rodrigues, a convicted felon with a history of criminal charges dating back to 2006, was most recently arrested in April for allegedly strangling the mother of his child unconscious, according to Palm Beach County court records, reports the Miami Herald. Rodrigues has not been formally charged as the investigation remains ongoing. Authorities are currently seeking a search warrant to further inspect the vehicle and gather additional evidence.
